Dear House,
i need ur urgent advice and help on this matter. I have a house which i purchased on mortgage, and so I am still paying for it in installments. My initial plan was to support the repayment for the property with the rent the house is generating.

The issue is that my tenant has strongly refused to pay his rent. He did the same thing last year, and after a heavy fight, he paid half of the rent. i told my lawyer and my lawyer advised that I should quit him from the property. Subsequently, my lawyer gave him six months quit notice. the quit ran concurrently with the six months rent he paid.

At the expiration of the notice in February, he started begging for extra three months. I agreed and told the lawyer to allow him stay for the three months to enable get another place. When the three months expired, he still refused to pay and he refused to move out.

He has been dodging from me and doesnt take my calls anymore, and its exactly six months now since his rent expired. My lawyer says it will take about another six months before he can get a court order to eject him from the property. I dont want him to stay in my property anymore and i cant bear to see him stay there for the next six months (since the court order will be ready in six months). I cant be sweating and paying for the mortgage, meanwhile the tenant refused to pay his rent, so I am contemplating forcing him out with thugs, or with the police, or better still removing the roof and windows from the house.

Please house, I need advice and help on this.

Thanks a lot.
